Back in May, Oni Press introduced Soggy Landing, a brand new fantasy graphic novel due out in August. The graphic novel from co-writers Alec & Andrew McGovern and artist Ian Densford follows what the writer describes as a “perma-stoned wizard bear” as she makes an attempt to retake her homeland from unwelcome invaders. This previous week the writer launched a preview of the ebook, which introduces the world and characters of the story.
Here’s how Oni Press describes the ebook:
Not very way back, Soggy Landing was an island paradise. Now, it’s a brutal settler metropolis dominated by a gaggle of rich, cultists referred to as “The 13” who’re proof against a leafy plague ransacking their neighborhood. As a battle between the haves and the have-nots involves a head, a free-spirited wizard bear named Otso and her buddy, Slipper, be a part of The Broken Wheel in an rebellion towards colonial forces controlling the magical island they love. A hallucinatory journey to the middle of the island leads them to a sequence of discoveries extra jarring than the final in this magical fantasy journey that explores a post-global battle neighborhood pitted towards thieving barons and diabolical cults.
Soggy Landing started as a serialized webcomic on the Study Group Comics web site. The sequence debuted in 2019, and has continued releasing pages sporadically since, with its most up-to-date launch again in May.
In a press release accompanying the new preview, The Brothers McGovern and Denford described what units Soggy Landing other than different stoner fantasies, and why Oni Press was the proper house for it:
“Soggy Landing isn’t for kids, it’s for cool kids and I hope tons of kids read this book and have to hide it from their stupid parents,” mentioned co-author Alec McGovern. “We’re super stoked to work with Oni Press, a publisher with a spine. Soggy Landing is the tip of the iceberg. We’re excited to explore our wilder, raunchier and more violent fantasies next.”
“Soggy Landing is a silly book, and there should be more silly books. Without them, we’re doomed,” added co-author Andrew McGovern.
“We wanted to create a story of resistance in a fantasy setting where we could lampoon these contemporary robber barons, stick a finger in the eye of the powerful and selfish, and try to kill them,” mentioned artist Ian Densford.
Check out the preview beloe. Soggy Landing is due out in bookstores on August 1st, and in comedian retailers on August 2nd.
